she wants to be the george mcgovern of 1972. george mcgovern from south dakota came from the very far left with a progressive guerrilla army to overtake the democratic party establishment. that's exactly what she's trying to do. and you know, the fox poll that was just out yesterday? and had joe biden down at 27% but if you add elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, they came total to 34%, 5% ahead of him. one of them is going to win, one of them is going to emerge here and they are taking on the democratic establishment and they are ahead. yes, she could be a real problem. >> what else, sean, she's smart enough to make all the tactical moves, making moves with working families party, endorsing their candidates in illinois, texas as well as philadelphia, the working family parties apparently had a vote and they are behind her now, although there is some disagreement as to why she got that vote. she is blocking and tackling like a professional. and her deals are going to break this country, whether it's the green new deal or medica

basically he wanted dirt on his democratic opponent, george mcgovern, and went threw extraordinary lengthst. you see a repeat of this, donald trump worried about joe biden, the one democrat people feel could assuredly defeat him, and here he is doing something illicit and perhaps unconstitutional to try to curry favor with ukraine to get a secret deal, secret payload of dirt on biden. so they really echo each other a lot, and nixon got undone with the tapes when we found out through alexander butterfield that there was a taping system in the white house and of nixon. donald trump, we have a transcript now. he's saying in his own words, you can hear the quid pro quo, or at least read the transcript of it. that may be enough to move forward very quickly with impeachment. the fact that we have what trump had said to the ukraine leader. >> this isn't a what did the president know and when did he flow it? we know what the president knew. we know what he said. it's now how many people around the president were aware and what did they do, if anything, to cover it up? let's talk about the response

i once had lunch with george mcgovern when bill clinton was running for president and they had him explosion and i said senator mike govern, what do you think about all these women coming after clinton and he said to me it's helping him. and i think it's true because men can you take what they want from the men that have the choice are serious leaders and that is how this is reading. the more women that come forth he's more like genghis khan, alexander the great committees like the great kennedy, clinton, jefferson, it is a mark and a leader many people find a man taking what he wants. >> journalist natalie wexler argues that u.s. education system can be improved by expanding history of science and the arts curriculum of elementary school students. she's interviewed by former chancellor of the district of columbia public schools. i'm so excited to be here today with natalie wechsler to discuss her brand-new book the knowledge gap the hidden cause of america's broken education system and how to fix it. >> guest: i'm delighted to be

something similar happened in watergate where nixon wanted to run against his weakest opponent, george mcgovern through political espionage and sabotage to run against mcgovern, not against his strongest opponent, edwin muskee. the same kind of integrity breaking of our electoral process, the most basic process that's essential to our democracy by an out of control president of the united states. >> so joe, again, you helped run the war room in the clinton white house impeachment. what are you seeing today? alisyn has been suggesting that all of a sudden there's some responsiveness to the white house now that the i-word is thrown around. they're promising transcripts. we don't know what they'll be. they're promising whistleblower complaints. >> i thought it was striking after all the stonewalling, after forcing democrats to go through the court process for three years, yesterday was different. >> because they think it's real. i think they have -- it took them a couple days, but they figured out the gravity. and it seems to me it's fairly simple, it's a fairly simple political calculation, which

primaries by political espionage and sabotage to get the nominee he wanted to run against, who was george mcgovernnot senator muskie of maine, through political dirty tricks, espionage, and sabotage. this, if the reporting is correct, is once again an abuse of power such as was in the nixon impeachment for undermining the basis of our democracy, free elections. >> but, anderson, as carl knows better than any of us, ultimately the downfall of richard nixon was his fellow republicans. and what i'm also hearing tonight -- >> that's exactly right. >> right. what i'm hearing tonight from republicans, who have the most to lose, republicans who are up for re-election in 2020 on the hill -- obviously that's all republicans in the house but also in purple states in the senate, and even they are saying to me that their constituents, they believe, see this as too complicated, and there's a russia hangover here, that they are hearing from their constituents that there was a shoulder shrug after, as mark said, millions of dollars were spent, a year and a half of discussion about russia, and their constituents

who was george mcgovern not senator musky of maine through political dirty tricks, espionage, and sabotage. this, if the reporting is correct, is once again an abuse of power such as was in the nixon impeachment for undermining the very basis of our democracy, free elections. >> but anderson, ultimately the downfall of richard nixon was his fellow republicans. and what i am also hearing tonight -- >> that is exactly right. >> what i'm hearing tonight from republicans who have the most to lose, republicans who are up for re-election, in 2020, on the hill. obviously that is all republicans in the house but, also, in purple states, in the senate, and even they are saying to me that their constituents say they believe this is too complicated and there is a russia hang over here that they're hearing from their constituents that there was a shoulder shrug after millions of dollars were spent, a year and a half about russia and their constituents didn't think it was a big deal and they see what is going on now as akin to that and they think they have political protection. >> what is interesting a

nixon as a general election candidate, he was able to roll past george mcgovern.r positioned than trump right now. but in terms of a primary, that is what any potential republican primary challenger is up against, running against donald trump. so up next, how do those republican challengers feel about this, about those canceled primary elections? i'm going ask one of them. i'm sure he is going to have plenty to say about it, next on "hardball." woman 1: i had no symptoms of hepatitis c. man 1: mine... man 1: ...caused liver damage. vo: epclusa treats all main types of chronic hep c. vo: whatever your type, ask your doctor if epclusa is your kind of cure. woman 2: i had the common type. man 2: mine was rare. vo: epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate. man 3: i just found out about my hepatitis c. woman 3: i knew for years. vo: epclusa is only one pill, once a day, taken with or without food for 12 weeks. vo: before starting epclusa, your doctor will test if you have had hepatitis b, which may flare up, and could cause serious liver problems during and after treatment.

harold ran seven times, george mcgovern and ray - well, john george mcgovern was and - [inaudible conversations one state, massachusetts. that's what will happen here. [inaudible conversations] he may have gotten puerto rico, too. i didn't look at that or the virgin islands or guam but he did not - he only got one state, massachusetts because of the silliness. bernie sanders is running and is the nominee i think trump will win 54 states out of 50. david: again, it's not just bernie sanders but if in fact liz warren with all her programs are saying this could happen to this country are you saying there's a 0% of the democrat nominee will become the president? >> zero is probably a little high. no, i'm kidding. i'm not saying that your plan but trump would do something horrible to let the wind with these types of policies. unless you don't believe in economics and if you think it something else than maybe they can win but it's not and is john james carlson with clinton if the economy whatever, stupid. david: so quickly, why then if there's a 0% possibility of a democratic went with a new poll so

famous crying in new hampshire incident, the base rallied around this passionate left winger named george mcgovern drew huge crowds, got the nomination, and you know, then had a very bumpy ride and got annihilated in the election. so is that a model you think that they should be watching out for? >> i really don't think that's going to happen. i think that as more and more people drop out of the race, these progressives, these super-liberals, whatever you want to call them, will move closer and closer to the center. neil: you know what happened with mcgovern on that issue, he started to raise money. he raised money. when you have to place your bets on a candidate and put your money down on that, those days i don't think we had any, but they couldn't find him. there were huge crowds. but the money wasn't following. i'm noticing money follows elizabeth warren. establishment money, big pacs of course supporting joe biden. but i tend to maybe disproportionately follow that aspect. that's why it looks very interesting for warren. >> it does. i will say one thing belelizabe warren, people haven't talked

musky had in 1972 when musky should have been the democratic nominee, was much more moderate than george mcgovernsed. biden's problem is -- the other day, when the washington post prints that you have made seven mistakes in three minutes, which is one of their articles about biden talking, he said seven factually wrong things in a three minute period. now, when the post does that to you, then your day as a democratic frontrunner are beginning to be numbered. and i think that what's happening is by contrast, senator warren, who is running -- i've said this before on the show. i thought kamala harris would do much better than she has. she obviously can't hit major league pitching. you now have the emergence of senator warren who is very formidable, is organized, structured, remembers everything, so the contrast between her and biden, the next debate will be interesting. she's not going to make many mistakes of a biden type. yet, she's a he ver very radicat candidate. the democrats are playing with fire as they move further and further to the left. dagen: really quickly, newt, it's dagen mcdowell. w

where he compared this upcoming election to 1972, where the democratic party kind of went left to george mcgovernot the middle of the country and they forgot the centrist democrats and maybe even the disaffected republicans. gingrich makes the assessment that that is how this is shaping up for the democratic party. we'll see. stuart: let me run a quick sound bite from the late show with stephen colbert, where colbert asked joe biden about the gaffes. roll that tape, please. >> i think it's fair to go after political figure for anything, okay? i mean, we stand up and it comes with the territory but here's the deal. any gaffe that i have made, and i have made gaffes like every politician i know has, have been not about a substantive issue, been about other -- i'm trying to talk about what other people have done. stuart: you want to respond to that, bret? >> his gaffes have been pretty big. his point there was that in essence, he was trying to focus on the guy who got the medal who didn't want the medal because he didn't rescue his colleague. but there are other examples where he talks about the par

very popular president in office, richard nixon, going against a left winger from the democrats, george mcgovern that nixon won by a landslide. maria: hugo, what's your reaction. >> when you hear he's pulling out and he says about -- he takes a shot at president trump. he's pulling out because he was making absolutely no traction. and it's interesting to think that joe biden is now as you rightly say regarded as the mod he rest in the field. he's no moderate. he's always been a left-winger and he's going with the flow on this. i don't think there's any resistance on his part to -- for example, the other night he was saying how much he supported the green new deal. he wanted more details added. he said it didn't go far enough. he's not going to be resisting any left wing policies if he's the nominee. maria: do you think he is going to be the nominee? >> it's a fascinating -- i don't think he's going to be the nominee. he's not going to be the nominee. i think once -- this is going to happen. elizabeth warren takes more votes, more support away from bernie sanders. it's going to mean that presiden

disaster of 1972, he writes it was this spirit of ruthless imposition of the true faith which led to george mcgoverndefeat in modern times and next time you listen to senator elizabeth warren and bernie sanders you'll hear the echo of this belief that they're moral and their opponents are immoral and therefore anything is justified to impose righteousness on the impure. what did you think of this piece? >> his premise is that the democratic party has gone left, has gone far to the left and is more in line with elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. by doing that it is alienating the middle not only centrist democrats but also moderate republicans, maybe disen franch aislesed trump republicans who would be willing to look at something else but the party itself has gone left. and his case is that that's how this election is going to shape up. it will be the far left versus donald trump who is going the run on his record. we'll see how that shapes up. i think he makes a compelling case. he says the media turns its back on how far left the democratic party has gone. and that may be the case, too. if you l

you go back and look at say the rise of john kerry, which was very, very sudden, or the rise of george mcgovernthe weaker half of those candidates which is about 10 people have no practical hope of rising. given the rules the democrats have for debates, once you're no longer on the debate stage, you're really for all practical purposes in this culture gone. so there are a number of more people my guess they will drop out. they're not going to stick it out. you're really down to four or five real candidates who have a realistic chance of winning the nomination. brian: newt, i have to ask this to you, the president has a lot of decisions to make, on iran as we just mentioned, vaping, on guns he is still thinking about it. coming to drug prices him at nancy pelosi have commonalities. time to pull trigger on all four, one, tell me? or both of you. >> go ahead, geraldo. >> i think that on gun control the time has come where the president can take a bold step. i have no doubt that the president knows that universal background checks is what most americans want. i would love him to stand up to the nra
